Gonzales (6-10) allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five across seven innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Rangers.

Gonzales allowed a run in two of his final three innings but still managed to turn in an excellent start. It was a needed effort, as he entered the outing having allowed 10 earned runs on 20 hits across his last 11.2 frames. Gonzales owns only a 4.8 K/9 on the season, so his results are likely to remain inconsistent. Overall, he has maintained a 3.66 ERA and a 60:36 K:BB.

Gibson (6-4) allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against Atlanta.

Gibson served up a two-run homer to Matt Olson in the sixth inning to spoil a potential scoreless appearance. He otherwise dominated the Atlanta lineup, generating 13 of his outs via groundout or strikeout. Gibson has turned in three quality starts in his last four outings, but he has surrendered five or more earned runs in three of his last six starts. He's been similarly inconsistent throughout the season, which has led to a 4.60 ERA with an 84:31 K:BB across 107.2 innings.

Skubal allowed two unearned runs on three hits across six innings but did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 4-3 over the Padres. He walked three and struck out two.

Coming out of the All-Star break, Skubal has now tossed 12 innings without allowing an earned run. It's reminiscent of how the lefty looked earlier in the year, and he's lowered his ERA to 3.67 in the process. It remains to be seen if Skubal can keep this up or if he'll run into a rough patch again, but he certainly looks like Detroit's ace at the moment. He'll aim to keep rolling in his next scheduled start Monday against the Twins.

Wells was removed from Wednesday's start against the Rays with lower-back discomfort, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The right-hander surrendered four earned runs on six hits with five strikeouts and zero walks before being lifted during the fifth inning, and he ended up not factoring in the decision. It's unclear if the injury will affect Wells' availability for his next turn through the rotation, which tentatively lines up for Monday at Texas.

Muller was hit in the right (non-pitching) hand by a comebacker last week and is not listed on Triple-A Gwinnett's list of planned starters for the next five days, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The team is trying to get a splint made that will allow him to pitch, and he has not been placed on the injured list. It's unclear when he will be able to return, but Muller had been excellent lately at Triple-A. Over his last eight starts, the big lefty had a 2.25 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 61:9 K:BB in 52 innings.

Miley (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A South Bend on Wednesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Miley threw 28 pitches during a live BP session Monday and will return to game action to close out the week. The southpaw's minor-league appearance will come four days before the trade deadline, and it's possible he'll be involved in trade talks if he feels good following the rehab start. Regardless of whether he's dealt, it's possible that the 35-year-old will be able to return to the majors sometime around mid-August.

Senzatela was removed from Wednesday's start against the White Sox after being hit by a comebacker on the left foot in the top of the seventh inning, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Senzatela talked with trainers for several minutes before being removed from the game with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. Prior to his departure, he allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out five in 6.2 innings. The right-hander returned from a shoulder issue last week, but it's not yet clear whether his foot injury will force him to miss additional time.

Peterson isn't listed as a starting pitcher for any of the Mets' next four games, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

As a result of off days Monday and Thursday, the Mets are shortening their rotation to four men this week. Taijuan Walker took the mound for Tuesday's win over the Yankees, while Max Scherzer will take the hill in Wednesday's series finale on four days' rest. The Mets will then have Chris Bassitt, Carlos Carrasco and Walker pitch in their three games in Miami this weekend, leaving Peterson to work out of the bullpen like he did in last weekend's series with the Padres. New York will require a fifth starter beginning with next week's series in Washington, but Jacob deGrom (shoulder) looks like he'll be ready to return from the 60-day injured list to make his season debut by then. Unless the Mets lose another starter to an injury or if manager Buck Showalter expands the rotation to six men, Peterson looks like he'll be the odd man out.

The Tigers selected Garcia's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

According to Beck, Garcia is expected to temporarily move into the rotation for Friday's game in Toronto, which would mark the 27-year-old's first start in his first 73 appearances in the big leagues. Perhaps as a reaction to the numerous personnel losses the Tigers have suffered to their rotation this season, Garcia recently transitioned into a starting role for Toledo. He maxed out at four innings over his three starts for the Triple-A affiliate, so the Tigers likely won't bank on him working deep into the game if he does in fact receive the starting nod Friday versus the Blue Jays.

The Reds promoted Petty from Single-A Daytona to High-A Dayton on Wednesday.

Petty, who was the main piece the Reds received in the March trade that sent Sonny Gray to Minnesota, will advance to Dayton after he submitted a 3.18 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 60:23 K:BB across 65 innings with Daytona.
